Flames ...

Last night Arthur and his dad spent some time working on plug-ins or something on our electric pole, and so, the power was out. Priscilla lit a bunch of candles and some of the kids played games (how many can you count? kids that is) while the rest of us did whatever by candlelight. When Arthur came in they all decided to play hide-n-seek with the lights out (except for me - I would probably fall down the stairs!). Everyone had a good time until this morning when we realized a pipe under the kitchen sink broke from someone hiding under there. Arthur thought he'd be able to fix it but for now there's a nice bucket under the pipe. Maybe tomorrow we can fix that little problem. This is a muskrat Isaac trapped. I'm not a rodent fan so as soon as the picture was taken it was quickly removed from the house and the table thoroughly washed. It is interesting to study some of these creatures God has made that live around us. Only God could have created things of such detail. More flames. This is an experiment of Isaacs. He took a wad of sap from a pine tree - about a golf ball size, set it in a candle lid, and lit it. It really burns and smokes so he carefully put it in our front entryway and watched to see how fast it would burn. After a while the lid broke as you can see and finally, after little bits of black something-or-other were floating around the entry he set a bucket over it and put it out. Amazing. No wonder pine tree wood burns so nice in the wood stove. Isaac looked a little like Edison, in the video as a boy, burning something in the school while trying to avoid breathing all the smoke. If only our lives could shine that bright, long, and steady for God, that those around us would see Him in us. Have a great evening!

Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

Wow, the candle picture is really pretty...and the muskrat picture is really icky!!! :) I NOT a rodant person either...espcially after all the MICE I've caught in my kitchen!!! Ewww...anyway, it looks like you all enjoyed your temporary blackout!

About Me

We're the K.family. Arthur and I were married in 1986 and have seven children, three daughter-in-laws, one son-in-law, and a troupe of grandchildren. We operate a dairy farm and have beef cows and some grain as well. We're probably best known in our area for running a corn maze in the fall.

I Corinthians 15:3,4 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried and rose again the third day according to the scriptures."

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life."The most important decision anyone can make is to trust in Jesus for everlasting life. If you have never done that, and you desire to do so, you can pray something like, God, thank you for loving me so much that You sent Your only Son to takethe punishment for my sin. I turn from my sins andinvite You into my life. Fill me with Your love and help me tolive for You. Amen. Praying a prayer isn't what saves you. You need to believe in your heart what God has done for you in sending his Son to die on the cross. I hope you make that decision today.
